Fake news

 

[the_batman]

Chris Paul is always going to be higher than Iverson and Nash on these kinds of lists because he has already had a better career than either of them.

please, Paul wishes he was Nash. Nash's Suns probably could've won a championship if my Spurs didn't exist.

Allen Iverson has done more with less than Chris Paul ever had.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

Curry is a one trick pony. Sorry it's true.

 

[LyleLanley]

They've got the wrong Thomas on there.

 

[phanphare]

Curry is a one trick pony. Sorry it's true.

what trick is that?

 

[mjp2417]

Allen Iverson has done more with less than Chris Paul ever had.

I grew up a huge Iverson fan, but the only reason that Sixers team made the finals was because the post-Jordan Eastern Conference was a dumpster fire.

chucking up meme shots

 

[Dark Cloud]

Steph Curry in the top 20?????????

 

[mjp2417]

please, Paul wishes he was Nash. Nash's Suns probably could've won a championship if my Spurs didn't exist.

Paul is a better scorer than Nash, he is an exponentially better defender than Nash, and they are both exceptional passers and playmakers. Chris Paul is simply a better all around player than Steve Nash was.

 

[Shambala]

Alternative facts yo

 

[McGullive]

used to keep up with sports a lot more when i was little, so im a little out touch nowadays. had no idea Kawhi was considered that good. pretty cool though, he seems like a good guy

 

[theWB27]

The talent gap between those teams negates that point. The Clippers would sweep that Iverson team. Maybe 4-1

Right?

 

[Messi]

Clippers would still find a way to choke it away.

 

[mjp2417]

Of course they would. And Chris Paul being better than Iverson is a large part of that talent gap.

 

[Frozenprince]

Curry is a one trick pony. Sorry it's true.

That's why his assist numbers are always high along with a good usage rate huh.

 

[PrankT]

I'm higher on Pippen, but the list isn't offensive to me.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Markelle Fultz will be #1 by this time next year

 

[x24hrs2livex]

what trick is that?

Throwing up 3 balls. He's really good at it but as far as PG's go he would not be ahead of any of these guys:

Magic
Stockton
Kidd
Payton
Zeke
Oscar
Nash
West

That's why his assist numbers are always high along with a good usage rate huh.

He only averaged over 8 assists one time in his career.

 

[googly]

Bird at #8 is ridiculous

 

[Az]

Disagree with the list

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Oscar's not better than the guys ranked above him. The triple double thing inflates his reputation .

I could see that as far as all around PGs go.

Throwing up 3 balls is underselling Curry though. He's been the best shooter that's ever lived these last couple seasons.

Recency bias confirmed.

If you judge him solely on a point guard scale, then yeah I guess. But you judge him by his value as a player and it's not even a contest. He's one of the two or three best shooters ever, and he might even be the best. That type of player, no matter what else they do, ranks highly all-time.

 

[Anth0ny]

I just have Jordan, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Shaq in top 5.

Then u have Kareem, Kobe and Russell that I have a hard time ranking Lebron over as well. Ehhhhhhh

 

[Magilla]

Dwight Howard was never and currently isn't the best big man in the league. GTFO with this shit.

 

[phanphare]

yeah and it's not like he can't get in the paint and finish at the rim

or doesn't have ridiculous handles

"one trick pony", good lord

 

[serenewarfare]

Who would you argue was the best in 2009?

 

[x24hrs2livex]

Should I judge him based on before Steve Kerr took over or after? I MO he is the best shooter ever, but that alone doesn't do it for me. He gets exposed on Defense all the time. He's passing isn't great at all and his shoes are ugly.

 

[nasax]

This thread is going to be fun. Subscribed.

Again, I'm not saying he's the best ever. But if we look at the "best of all time" as a simple measure of value and who has the most skill overall, a guy who can shoot better than literally anyone is getting high marks from me.

I'm just here to read ridiculous Lebron underratings. Those are fun.

That's cool, I get that. Not saying you're wrong, because you're not. Just me personally wouldn't put him on my 12 man roster if I had my pick of any 12 players from any era. Opinions.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Now adjust for pace

And flopping...

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm just here to read ridiculous Lebron underratings. Those are fun.

Honestly, he's an all time great but I have a very hard time putting him in the top 5, let alone #2. He's top 10, no fucking doubt. And he's still not done yet...

 

[Voltron64]

Kobe at #10. GTFO

 

[ErasureAcer]

Drexler still on the list. No complaints here.

 

[metalslimer]

Waiting for someone to try and claim LeBron isn't top 5 after what we saw in the finals last year

 

[Anth0ny]

Amazing upset and increased my respect for him x100. Still not top 5

 

[Violence Jack]

Get Dwight Howard's overrated ass off that list. Ever since he left Orlando, he's been a bum.

 

[Anth0ny]

Dwight being top 50 is dumb af. All he did was make the finals once. Kawhi got finals MVP. Fuck that soft mother fucker

 

[theWB27]

Of course they would. And Chris Paul being better than Iverson is a large part of that talent gap.

Not at all. I don't know why Chris Paul gets such a pass for being so great and never winning anything.

 

[Trey]

He will be when he retires, if he's not already.

He's not already.

MJ
Kareem
Magic
Lebron

 

[Vanillalite]

If anything Wilkins might be underrated because he didn't have another super star on his team like everyone else did.

You'll notice the great Bulls, Lakers, and Celtics teams all had multiple people on this list from the same team.

 

[thetruth1983]

Isiah Thomas at 35? This is a joke.
